My favorite characters are the Mirkwood Elves and the Elven King in particular. I think Thranduil and his situation is very intriguing probably because Tolkien tells us so little about it. It is a fanfic dream.

I am currently posting a very long fanfic called Interrupted Journeys that is my take on the history of Thranduil and Legolas starting in the beginning of the Third Age. The story covers Thranduil's first years as king, the courtship of his wife, his move to the stronghold in the north of Greenwood, the birth of his son, Legolas's adventures and concludes when both father and son are in Valinor. It has romance, mystery, angst, drama...there will be something for everyone and some parts may be more interesting than others depending on your tastes.

The story is a series of misadventures chronicling the early, 'teenage' years of Elladan, Elrohir and Legolas. Action, humour and angst.

This series starts in TA 147. Elladan and Elrohir are seventeen, Legolas is twelve. I have made one very small departure from canon, and moved Arwen’s birth forward by 100 years. This was necessary so the four can grow up together in the course of the story.

The Fellowship must cross a river before it can enter the land of Hollin, a river that turns out to be the stuff of Samwise Gamgee’s nightmares. Primarily featuring Sam and Legolas, though all members of the Fellowship are about. Rated for perilous situations.

The collected ramblings of Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir as their lives continue to change and develop. Part 88. Peace. Reflections has extended to 89 episodes over the past three years. It is now long enough! Although it has now concluded, it is not the end, as I daresay More Reflections will be along soon.

Lasting friendships can be forged when disaster strikes. Set in Lasgalen, Third Age 179. Starring (in alphabetic order) Arwen, Celebrian, Elladan, Elrohir, Elrond, Legolas and Thranduil. Chapter Sixteen. The visitors return home, but not before Legolas and Arwen discuss the future.
**Finally Complete!!**

BOOK I ~ EDLEDHRON ~ "But before the building of Barad-dur many of the Sindar passed eastward, and some established realms in the forests far away. Thranduil, king in the north of Greenwood the Great, was one of these." The story of the second Elvenking of Greenwood, Thranduil Oropherion. His rise from refugee to prince and beyond, from the First Age through to the Fourth. Rated for mature themes.

Follow Lord Celeborn and Lord Thranduil as they experience the End of Arda as it went, not exactly as recounted by Vanyarin and Noldorin lore masters. A tale of the selfless courage found in unsung heroes, those who face every day’s lost battles, even when there shall be none left to sing of their deeds. Last Chapter and Epilogue: "The End of Arda"

The year is III 253, and the children of Elrond have their own adventures, intermixed with stories of the Second Age told from those who lived through that time.
*Story Complete* Epilogue: The Third Age Elrond reflects over the events that ended the Second Age, and takes a huge step forward in his role as one of the Wise.

Ever wondered how the sapling of the White Tree ended at the slopes where Aragorn found it? Follow this tale from Valinor to Minas Tirith to find out.
A bedtime tale for the children of the Fourth Age.

Set at Pelargir after the Battle of Fornost, this story deals with a young man suffering from the Black Shadow, a desperate mother and two strange travellers, one clad in grey and one in earthen brown.
They say that the hands of the king can heal... and there were kings in Arda before Aragorn’s time.
Slightly AU, this story also draws inspiration from H.P.Lovecraft's "Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath".
For Nilmandra, who inspired this.

Those who have read Far Horizons might have some interest in the fate of Minastan Terendulion. (This turned out not to follow the intended plan, which was much more simplistic and in line with Thranduil's response.)
There are appearances from Elrond, Thranduil and Finarfin, but the focus is mainly on Minastan.

An answer to the farewell fic challenge at the Mirkwood Castle Yahoo list, which is, sadly, going off line in early October. Jay of Lasgalen wrote the opening paragraphs (in italics) and the rest is mine.
